Four-day time skip
August 5, 2005
Today was Friday, and from the next day, college for me would start. The last 4 days have been fun for sure. Studying the Omnitrix did not have any result...
I started jogging to the warehouse in the morning, and I wore a new tracksuit. I can only buy this because a kind soul met me 4 days ago, and he gave me all of his money. What a kind person! He had $400 on him, so I bought new clothes!
I enter the warehouse, and I see Frank as always standing. Frank speaks: "Get ready for sparring, kid." I walk to the ring, and I wrap the cloth around my hands as I get in the ring and start sparring with Frank. This has been pretty much the norm for me now for the past 4 days. I have been doing this, fighting nonstop and working out, and the result of this? Well, I was somewhat keeping up with Frank...
Frank throws a punch, and I dodge it without moving. I throw a punch back at him, and Frank grabs my fist and tries to throw me around, but I put his hand in a lock. I wrap my legs around his waist, making it impossible for him to throw me, and then we get in the tough hand-to-hand lock, and a few seconds later, Frank slaps my face with a speed I almost could not see, and then I started to get beat...
I can sure keep up with the Punisher only when he is holding back. The second Frank stops holding back, I start to get beat up, but still, I was holding myself up at least even though I was getting beat up, so how did this happen in the past 4 days? Well, the answer was Gray Matter. For the past 4 days, I have also been exploiting and abusing Gray Matter by understanding and making counters for Frank's fighting style, and not only that, as Gray Matter, I have only started to learn other types of fighting styles too, but again, learning something in theory but without any really practical experience was the reason I kept losing to Frank...
A wave of disbelief washed over Frank; he couldn't process what was happening. "His idiot kid started to keep up with me?? At this rate he will be on my level in a few months... this speed is stupid... this kid is not a genius; he is just a freak!" Even though Frank thought all of this, Frank had a smile on his face while he trained Leo. Why? Well, it's been now a month since Frank has killed all the gangs that killed his family, so Frank has been lost... but this kid Leo was the only thing keeping Frank well, smiling nowadays at least...
After a good spar, Leo ends up leaving the warehouse, and this time Leo does not walk back; no, he takes a taxi back home because right now Leo's body is sore all over... and after giving the taxi driver a tip of $10, Leo happily walks inside the apartment, and well, the first thing I do is take a bath, and I come out of the bathroom, and then I stop, and then I look back again at myself in the mirror, and I have to say, damn... my body is not as shit as it was before! Sure, I don't have a 6-pack or something like that, but let's just say my body is toned and lean for sure...
And after a few seconds of admiring myself in the mirror, I wore a casual black T-shirt and black sweatpants and walked out of the bathroom while Abby was on the couch on her phone. Abby spoke, "Hope you're ready for college, bro," and for some reason Abby seemed to enjoy the fact that I have to study again, but I just smiled because, well, little did Abby know I was going to bunk most of my college and only come to give the tests and exams... and I spoke, "Oh dear, I am ready for sure. Don't worry, I'll bring some snacks for you, ok?"
And my happy behavior does make Abby a little annoyed, but what can Abby do? After messing around for a while, I walked back into my room, which was now actually kind of clean? What? Who? Yeah, I upgraded my chair a little so it can now move around in my room and clean stuff like a room cleaning machine, and then I sit down on the metal sofa, which still does not have padding. I'll do it some day!
And Ava spoke, "Good afternoon, Sir. I have made the new game you told me about, Sir, Candy Crush. Yes, it is ready now and also out for free for now, and the player base of the subway game is growing fast; at least 200,000 users are noted. Some users are playing the game on the same computer more than once because Subway is a light game." And as I read and heard the report in front of me on the screen, it was pretty good; both of the games were just as good as the ones in my past life... Anyway, now the only problem is the account.
But I don't need to worry about that. May had already said yes to being a guardian in opening a bank account for me in her name... How did this happen? Well, for the past 3 days I have just been doing the same thing: buying chips and water bottles and then giving them to the homeless so May could see and know that I am a good person, but the real stuff happened last night...
